The hotel itself was great with good breakfast and bar, and it was right across from the train station so super convenient. The female front desk rep was very pleasant and helpful during checkin. Our room did have an a/c leak from the ceiling and staff came right away to fix the problem. We walked around the block and thought the Bologna Food Gallery and Pure and Bio gelato place were great, but the back side street smelled and was a bit shady.

The fact that the room temperature is controlled by the front desk speaks poorly of service during the very many hot summer days. This is a malaise throughout most hotels in southern Europe. I will make a point to never return to this hotels. It's a shame, but not worth my return.
